Ahoy There! I'm Haneen Ibrahim, a mad Linguist, who teaches children, cheers for FC Barcelona and reads a bit too much.
I also mix all that in the goblet whenever I return from a voyage in a parallel universe by the TARDIS and come up with some crazy fiction, this I guess makes me a writer in the real world.

I don’t do much reviewing on my blog here, yes I talk books
when the chance comes, like here and here. In fact the only book I officially reviewed
was The Hobbit. And that was because I was enamored. A result of various reasons
including my incurable crush on the Baggins Boys. Ehem. Anyway I wanted to read
Sunbolt for a while now, and also promised the very nice and talented IntisarKhanani I would review it in celebration of the upcoming release of the sequel or the second book of The Sunbolt Chonicles;Memoriesof Ash (on May 30) so here we are.

State Of Day. I know I know! Sunbolt review will
come after this reflection post, I’m keeping this promise, sheesh!

And. After watching the Bollywood
movie Drishyam and liking it I read it was inspired by the Japanese detective book The
Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino, so I hunted for that book
and Oh MY God! What a read, guys if you were living under a tent like me and
haven’t come across this gem I say you must. I’m utterly speechless, I loved
this book to pieces. Can you believe I hated no one and fell for every single
man in this novel? Other than the victim himself that is, irony. Anyway, review
on goodreads coming up soon.

Day Zero in the annual A to Z challenge, marking also the
last day of April 2016, I hope you all had such a pleasant month, and year so
far.

Like I said before I missed quite a lot of letters this time
around and I’m not sure where I stand, am I a winner at least cause I didn’t
get cut from the competition? Or are bloggers like me are to only be called
participants?

State Of Day. I can’t breathe, can’t seem to live
anymore, matches are from Saturday to Saturday, only one match per week, no FC
Barcelona for a whole week. Slow death. Sigh!

………………………………………………………….

Why hello there!

‘W’ how about that? I always found it cute, as a letter, if
it makes sense. A catchy name if you ask me, even in Spanish:“doblay-bay”
hah! Cute :) as far as my Spanish teacher is concerned, I’m a good student, he’s
pretty impressed with my linguistic background.

Learning Spanish has really gave me something to look forward to, but I’m
positive we can talk about all this later.

FC Barcelona caused riot in the Riazor of Deportivo yesterday
by signing their visit with 8 goals and therefore ending a short but sad phase
of consecutive losses that plagued our clean slate. Suarez = super hattrick with
4, Messi = an effortless 1, Neymar = 1, Rakitic = a classy 1 and finally the
young Mark Bartra with a Maradona style run and finish.

State Of Day. Why? O why do I keep doing this to
myself? Days ago I watched the final episode of the Korean Drama Gaksital “Bridal
Mask”. A periodic about the last years of the Japanese invasion of Korea and the
uprising leading to independence. And this drama was heart wrenching. No wonder
the two leads got the shooting cut many times, they couldn’t stop crying
because it was all so painful.

They cried and they were acting it, you can imagine what it
did to me watching it. Good side is discovering a new remarkable Korean actor,
Park Ki-Woong who played the tragic villain Kimura Shunji, a psychopath you
hate…HATE loving.

And. Goodbye Champions League, there will
always be next year, cheer up boys. Visca Barca!

State of Day. This post has been delayed due to internet
connection troubles.

Also. I’m really sorry, but I’m officially
announcing that I will not be finishing this challenge with you, I don’t want
to post things I’m not convinced about and to give it my all means doing badly
in my Master research which of course cannot happen. Bottom line is don’t
except to see the letters dancing daily on my blog. It is most unfortunate, and
I thank you for your support and comments so far.

I’m posting for you today
from a blue box where all the magical things tack-place, we can go to meet our
old depressed future versions, or be hunted down by weeping angels, or solve
the mystery of a mysterious crack on the wall and maybe dine with Liz 10 as we sale
by a freezing star.

Have I made myself obvious
enough? Ha!

Today’s team is special and
dear to my heart. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

State Of Day. Notice
I changed decoration? That is what I was talking about back in August 2015.

………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Why Hello there everyone!

I cut this strategic withdrawal to present you with my 2016
A to Z challenge Theme. Now I wish I can say I’m all free and we can chat like
we used to do before but alas, I thought I will be through with my research
this March but now even April is taken into the loop.

or is it out of the equation?

Good news is–isha’Allah- I will be joining you all in the
marathonic A to Z challenge. I would not miss it for the world. Now I doubt I
will be as active as last year but I will do my best. Hoping only to keep
posting until day Zero.
